Yesterday, a kind person told the English proverb "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." The same meaning of the Japanese proverb is "Oiki ha magaranu/老い木は曲がらぬ".I became to like the proverb.It's because my head is older than my real age.Recently I think that it's hard for me to memorize new word.So this proverb shows my feeling. Hahaha

Japanese call these "idioms" proverbs are more philisophical like ways to live your life. (like zen teachings or old chinese proverbs). In English we call this a "figure of speech" and I enjoy them too, add me as a friend and I will teach you more!
